Doue (calf) is progressing well in his rehabilitation since he has resumed running with a specialized machine, according to Le Parisien.

Leoni has suffered a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season, according to Sky Sports.

Buongiorno picked up a grade one strain of the right adductor longus in his left thigh, Napoli announced.

Leoni (undisclosed) is set for further assessment on his injury to decide the issue following his early exit against Southampton on Tuesday, according to manager Arne Slot. "Of course, he is down because for him it didn't feel good immediately, but this is something now we have to assess. Normally, these things don't happen in five to 10 minutes, and you have to wait for tomorrow to see how he comes in and then maybe do an MRI scan to know more about how serious it is."

Yamal (groin) is getting close to return after training fully with the squad since Monday, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference, according to Barca Universal. "Lamine's return is getting close, yesterday and the day before he trained well. Things are looking good."

Balde (hamstring) could be back for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference, according to Barca Universal. "Balde's return? I don't think that will happen in this next match, but maybe for Sunday. We'll see how much he improves, we don't want to take risks with him."
